otakulys's manga / #dark(197)

Why the fuck did I read this piece of shit? I mean, I hated it before I even started it, and yet I just. couldn't. stop. Dear lord, though, those gravity-defying breasts. Girl, you could have easily knocked all those dudes out with those things.

I wonder why the follow up with that sad love triangle isn't on here. It's translated. I haven't seen it on the site in general, which is weird. Anyway, read most of these separately, but a few were new to me. I fucking love Harada, ugh. Honestly, in the grand scheme of things, these weren't as bad as they could have been as far as soul crushing. Sad, still, especially the first one. No one wins, and it sucks. I wish she'd continue it beyond the second part. Why can't they share, damn it? More love triangles need to end like that.

Yeah, that was way too rushed, so it ended up being silly and disjointed. Pretty art, too bad the story sucked. I mean, I've seen way worse, but it could have been so much better.

.... ........ .............. ...Uh.... Well, I mean, when the girl is running over, it was genuinely creepy. The grinning with all the fucked up stuff happening. Just... I mean, I appreciate the dark humor of it, but what the hell did I just read? I feel like there's some weird attempt at social commentary happening here, but it's clear the artist is just big on bizarro stuff. Definitely strange, but I didn't hate it.

This is... really weird. I cry very easily, and I figured I was taking a risk here, but the stories are so quick and shallow that it doesn't have much of an impact. I gave it three stars so far, instead of two, just because the third story was actually kind of intriguing despite its silly premise. The first one's ending made me laugh out loud because it was so abrupt. They had an opportunity to make these stories powerful, but they really missed their mark. If Harada has a piece in here, it'll no doubt be awesome, but I don't know what to expect from here on out.

Graphic extension of the very brutal rape scene in the main story. Hard to look at. Even though that character is a giant asshole for most of the manga, it's still heartbreaking. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

Read this again to be sure of how it all went, but yeah, pretty much as I remembered. This is a sad one. At least it doesn't go on long enough for them to live happily ever after, which I hope is not the natural conclusion to such a violent rape. But we all know how yaoiland works. For what was here, though, it's a sad, interesting story about obsession, denial, and unrequited love.

Interesting so far. Not sure what my rating will be later, but I like the build up at this point. Definitely creepily obsessed with his older brother, but it's sad that his brother changed a few of the things he used to do out of embarrassment. That little moment when he quickly drops his younger brother's hand... I hope it stays interesting.

Hm. Beautiful art, and it has a dash of the hurt/comfort stuff that I'm really into, but it's kind of rushed and confusing, so I'm a little confused by how emotionally invested so many people are. I feel bad for Maya, but he's with this dude now, and it seems like things are gonna be fine. I guess I just wish it had been longer before it all got fixed. I needed more time to grow attached to the character. But it's pretty, so four stars rather than three.

Aww, this is really sad so far! I want them to help heal one another, damn it! But I'm glad it didn't just happen immediately. I hope it continues to unfold nicely and doesn't become rushed and shallow.
